The app must be installed by a store admin in Shopify

  1. In your Shopify store, log in as a store admin (3PL customers need to communicate with their customers here for the setup) and navigate to Settings -> Apps

    In the top right corner of the screen, choose "Develop apps"

2. In the next menu, navigate to the "Build apps in Dev Dashboard" section.

3. In the next tab, your Shopify Dev Dashboard will open.

Click the "Create app" button in the top right corner.

4. Give your app a name - E.g. "PULPO WMS API Connection".

5. You now must define the access scopes (permissions) that this app can use in your Shopify store.

Below is a list of the minimum required scopes (read+write - ADMIN API) which PULPO requires to work with Shopify correctly. The list might grow with new features, and not all scopes might be listed here, as both sides are continuously adding features:

  • Companies

  • Custom fulfilment services

  • Customer

  • Draft orders

  • Fulfillment services

  • Inventory

  • Inventory shipments

  • Inventory shipments received items

  • Inventory transfers

  • Locales GraphQL Admin API

  • Locations

  • Merchant managed fulfilment

  • Order editing

  • Orders

  • Product information

  • Products

  • Returns

  • Shipping rates

  • Third-party fulfilment

6. No other changes are required in this screen.

You can now click the "Release" button in the top right corner.


7. In the next dialogue, add the version name (you can put 1.0, for example).

Versioning can be done however you like.

After that, release the app.

8. After you release the app, two more steps need to be done:

  1. Note down or copy the Client ID and the Secret.

    This data can be found in the settings area of the created app.

Client ID and the Secret will be required later to connect your Shopify Store with the PULPO WMS system.

2. Install the newly created Shopify app to your Shopify store.

You can do so by navigating to the home screen of the app and selecting the Install App option top right.

After clicking the "INSTALL APP" button:

  • You will be asked which store you want to install the app in

  • You need to log in to this Shopify store

Once the app is installed, you can go over to the PULPO WMS App to set up the actual connection between Shopify and PULPO WMS using the obtained Client ID and the Secret there.
